People on the margins

1 Samuel 9:1-4, 17-19, 10:1; Ps 21, Mark 2:13-17

Jesus is well aware of what it is like to be judged by others because they don’t approve of His choices. Spending time with people who are in some ways isolated by society can be challenging – but Jesus is always with us at these times, as He is always to be found with the most needy of us all. Pray for those who work with people who live on the margins, and ask Him to help us in the way we support each other.
